LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 232 Guan Yu used heaven and earth as his soldiers and flooded seven armies!
The next day, Yuan Shao, Zhang He and Qu Yi personally led the seven-pronged army and finally began to march towards Pingyuan County.
When Yuan Shao, Zhang He and Qu Yi led the army to Pingyuan County, they found that Guan Yu had indeed abandoned Pingyuan County and that Pingyuan County was empty. Yuan Shao was completely relieved.
Although it is said that even if Guan Yu really has an ambush in the plain, they will only resist stubbornly and cannot stop his seven-pronged army, but if Guan Yu really wants to resist desperately, it will not be that easy to deal with.
Because of this, Guan Yu is indeed preparing to retreat to Jinan, which is undoubtedly good news for Yuan Shao!
After occupying Pingyuan County, Yuan Shao soon sent Zhang He and Qu Yi to lead the army to continue southward, while he stayed in Pingyuan County with a small number of troops to respond at any time.
Zhang He led the army until they finally stopped near the Ji River outside Linyi and began to station troops at Chuankou, ready to continue attacking Linyi at any time.
The news was quickly learned by Guan Yu, who was stationed in Jihe.
"General, just as the general expected, the Yuan army has indeed stationed troops north of the Ji River in a low-lying area!"
Zhou Cang's face was full of excitement, and he raised his hands to Guan Yu and said, "Yuan Jun has fallen into the trap!"
Hearing the news, Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a look of joy on his face, and asked with his beard: "Have all the water inlets been blocked?"
"Go back to the general. General Xu Rong and other generals have blocked the upper water outlet!"
Zhou Cang nodded and said impatiently: "The autumn rain is lingering now, and the Jishui River is now turbulent. After the water outlet is blocked, the Jishui River will definitely rise sharply by tomorrow at the latest!"
"The general will let the water flood again at that time. Although Yuan's army has seven troops, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated! Qu Yi and Zhang He will be submerged into fish and turtles, and will be captured by the general!"
Even at this time, when the plan of flooding seven armies was mentioned, Zhou Cang couldn't help but look shocked, and said with great emotion: "The general's plan, using the heaven and earth as soldiers, using the power of the water to resist the enemy, is really amazing! "
Guan Yu caressed his long beard and said: "Send people to pay close attention to Yuan Jun's movements, and then send people to keep an eye on the water level of Jishui. When the water level rises, report it to me immediately."
"yes!"
Zhou Cang nodded excitedly without any objection.
"Yuan Shao led seven armies to invade Qingzhou. I must use this battle to establish my authority and tell the world that if they dare to invade Qingzhou, these seven Yuan armies will suffer the consequences!"
A hint of coldness appeared in Guan Yufeng's eyes, and murderous intent overflowed from his body. He said, "Tomorrow will be the day when Yuan Shao's seven armies will be flooded!"
…………
The day passed quickly.
Late that night, the night wind suddenly picked up, and the howling autumn wind swept past. The sound of autumn rain beating on the banana leaves was like a disk of jade beads, which kept ringing.
However, everyone has become accustomed to this scene. After all, it is autumn and August, and the autumn rain is continuous. It rains heavily almost every two days.
At this time, Yuan Jun's camp was inside.
A smile appeared on Qu Yi's face, and he said to Zhang He: "That Guan Yu is nothing more than that. Although Guan Yu has courage that is unworthy of all men, he is just a common man who is brave and foolhardy!"
Zhang He also smiled and said: "Although Guan Yu is guarding Linyi now, Linyi cannot be guarded for a long time. When our army reaches Linyi, Guan Yu will be defeated and retreat to Jinan. In this way, this plain can be regarded as completely captured. Got it!"
"yes!"
Qu Yi felt quite proud and said with a smile: "I was careless before and was defeated by Guan Yu. Now if I capture Pingyuan, it will be regarded as a crime!"
"However, Guan Yu did not withdraw to Jinan immediately, which is a bit beyond my expectation."
Zhang He frowned slightly and said with some worry: "Is it possible that Guan Yu still wants to fight to the death?"
"That's best!"
Hearing Zhang He's words, Qu Yi sneered: "If Guan Yu just wants to retreat, there is really nothing we can do to Guan Yu, but if Guan Yu really wants to resist, he will definitely die!"
"That's true."
Hearing this, Zhang He also nodded. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Moreover, if Guan Yu really wants to retreat, do I have a plan that can capture and kill Guan Yu?"
"oh?"
Qu Yi's eyes brightened slightly, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, and immediately asked: "What's Jun Yi's clever plan?"
"Guan Yu has few soldiers, so he will not retreat from the main road. There is a steep path to the west of Linyi. Han Meng can lead five thousand elite soldiers and lie down twenty miles outside the city. Guan Yu is brave and cannot fight with strength, otherwise he will lead his troops to death. If you fight hard, you can only follow up and kill him."
"In this case, the morale of the army will be unstable. Guan Yu will have no choice but to go around the Shang River and rush to Jinan. He will then send Chunyu Qiong to lead 10,000 elite troops in advance and lie in the remote roads of the Shang River. In this way, Guan Yu will definitely capture him!"
With a smile on his face, Zhang He immediately started talking to Qu Yi.
"What a good plan!"
Hearing this, Qu Yi couldn't help being shocked and said: "With such a dragnet, Guan Yu can't escape even if he has wings that soar to the sky. Jun Yi is really a brave and strategic general. No wonder my lord values you so much!" "
"Excessive praise."
Zhang He smiled and shook his head, cupped his hands and said modestly.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a loud shouting outside the camp. It was extremely noisy, like a river boiling and the sea boiling. There was a roaring sound, and it was like the sound of thousands of horses galloping and collapsing with force!
"Hurry up!"
"The water is coming!"
"The flood is coming, run!"
"Why is there so much water?"
Shouts and roars swept through the entire military camp in an instant. Qu Yi and Zhang He inside the military tent were stunned. After they came to their senses, their expressions changed slightly. Without saying a word, the two men immediately stood up and left the tent to check the situation. .
And after seeing clearly the situation outside the camp at this time, even though both of them had seen many big scenes, their expressions suddenly changed drastically at this moment, and their pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and their expressions were full of emotion. Shocked look!
A deep chill shot from their tailbones to the Tianling Cap!
In the distance, the torrential river water rushed in from all directions, rushing toward the camp. It was unstoppable, the waves were overturned, and it was extremely turbulent, drowning everything!
The power of the flood spread thousands of miles, like a giant dragon, constantly making loud "rumbling" sounds that made people dare not breathe. It was extremely spectacular.
This is the power of heaven and earth, which cannot be resisted by human beings. Even if they have an army of more than 100,000, they still appear to be extremely small before this surging flood.
At this time, in the camp, we saw a flood coming in, and the soldiers were lying dead in a commotion. Everyone was pushing and trampling on them. Soldiers were constantly being sucked into the flood and drifting with the current.
"Quick, climb up the mountain and avoid the water!"
At this time, Zhang He didn't even have time to think about why there was a sudden flood. He immediately roared at the top of his lungs and asked the soldiers to climb a hill near the camp to avoid the water.
"Climb the mountain and avoid water!"
Qu Yi finally came to his senses and immediately issued military orders with Zhang He.
But the sound of floods and wind shook the heaven and earth, and the howls and screams of the soldiers were endless. For a time, even if Zhang He and Qu Yi gave orders together, not many soldiers heard the words of Zhang He and Qu Yi.
More and more soldiers were caught up in the rolling water and began to flop and struggle in the water. But the more they struggled, the more water poured into their mouths and noses, and soon many soldiers were drowned directly in the water. !
These soldiers were all from the north and were not good at water. Many of them could not even swim. When the flood came, the morale of the soldiers was in chaos and they pushed each other. As a result, more and more soldiers were drawn into the water and drowned by the flood.
"Help!"
"Help me, I can't swim!"
"I don't know how to do it either. Go up the mountain and avoid the water! Avoid the water!"
Suddenly, the roar of the night wind, the lapping of the rain, the roar of the water, and the screams of the soldiers could be heard incessantly. The scene became a mess and there was no discipline at all.
In the face of this surging water, even if Zhang He and Qu Yi were very powerful, they were useless. They could only lead the nearest group of soldiers, wading through the water in great embarrassment, and began to climb towards the hill near the camp.
However, the terrain where the troops were stationed was low-lying, and it was at the mouth of a river. There were not many hills near the camp, and it was not even enough to support one-tenth of the soldiers!
The water was rushing and sweeping across, like a giant gluttonous beast, constantly devouring everything and sweeping away thousands of armies. Its momentum was almost despairing. The rumbling floods overflowed and soon completely rushed into the camp!
The fortifications built in the camp and some wooden fences to prevent horses were as ridiculous as toys before the flood, and they were directly involved in it, and the soldiers' tents were directly submerged!
The floods surging from all directions, with an unstoppable attitude, directly destroyed the camp in an instant, and directly involved those soldiers who had not yet climbed to the high ground!
The soldiers struggled to flap their limbs, trying to float, but this was just a futile effort. The river was so fast that even if they could swim, it was extremely laborious to maintain their balance in this situation.
Once they are exhausted, the only thing that will greet them is death!
But what was even more deadly was that at this time, the heavy armor on the soldiers, which was originally used to protect their vital parts, became a life-threatening talisman. They kept falling in the water, and countless people drowned!
Moreover, what frightened everyone even more was that even though many people climbed to the hills near the camp to avoid the water, the water was still rising!
Some low-lying hills were directly swallowed up by the flood. The Jizhou soldiers who climbed up these hills could not escape the fate of being drowned in the end.
I don’t know how long it took, but the night had faded and the sky began to turn white, and the water finally slowed down.
At this time, the entire Yuan Jun garrison was in a mess.
Many corpses of soldiers without armor floated on the water. In the shallows, the corpses of some soldiers with armor also slowly surfaced together with broken wooden weapons.
The surviving Jizhou soldiers were also extremely embarrassed, and they were all wet.
"what happened?"
Zhang He's face turned extremely ugly, and he asked Qu Yi beside him: "Why did you suddenly get so wet?"
This flood was completely beyond Zhang He's expectation. Seven armies were washed away by this shocking flood, and it could not even be described as hurting their muscles and bones!
Qu Yi looked at some soldiers who were still struggling in the water not far away, with extremely ugly faces. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Although it is August now, the water will not rise to this level." situation!"
At this moment, a soldier looked not far ahead, his face suddenly changed, he pointed forward and said: "Two generals, look!"
Hearing this, Zhang He and Qu Yi immediately looked in the direction pointed by the soldier.
Not far away, in the mist, several large ships slowly emerged and were rowing towards Yuan Jun's camp.
As the ship got closer and closer, the outline of the ship became clearer and clearer. When they saw the people on the ship, the expressions of Qu Yi and Zhang He couldn't help but change.
On each large ship, there are densely packed Qingzhou warriors. They are all sharp-edged and wearing heavy armor. They are as powerful as tigers, giving people an extremely strong and oppressive feeling.
And on the big ship at the front, stood a tall man with a height of nine feet, a beard two feet long, a face like a jujube, and lips like greased lips. He was wearing jade scales and his phoenix eyes were slightly closed, looking at Qu Yi. and Zhang He.
Next to the long-bearded man, stood a dark-faced man with a curly beard, holding a knife and standing beside the long-bearded man. Who could it be if it wasn't Guan Yu and Zhou Cang?
"Zhang He, Qu Yi, I heard that you all thought you were determined to win Pingyuan."
The ship kept sailing towards Zhang He and Qu Yi. Guan Yu stood on the ship, caressing his long beard, looked at Zhang He and Qu Yi, and said, "But now that I have flooded the seven armies, what can you two say?"
Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang He and Qu Yi were stunned.
Was this water released by Guan Yu?
It was only at this moment that they finally understood the cause and effect of everything, but at the same time, they all felt an unbelievable shock in their hearts!
No wonder Guan Yu suddenly abandoned Pingyuan County and retreated directly to Linyi south of Jishui!
Guan Yu did not want to retreat to Jinan. On the contrary, Guan Yu used this to lure them deeper and then block the water mouth. It was a rainy night yesterday and the water rose sharply. Guan Yu directly released the water and drowned the Seventh Army!
Thinking of this, Zhang He and Qu Yi couldn't help but feel a little shocked!
They never thought that Guan Yu would unleash his power against the enemy and use heaven and earth as his soldiers!
Is this what Yuan Shao said about Guan Yu not being able to lead troops in battle?
What kind of international joke are you making?
Since ancient times, those who use heaven and earth as their soldiers have all been famous generals. They are also generals, but they have never thought of such a method as water attack!
The seven-pronged army was now flooded by Guan Yu. It can be said that there is almost no one left in ten, and all of them were killed or injured!
"Yuan Shao sent this envoy before, saying that those who know the current affairs are heroes. This is true."
Guan Yu looked at Zhang He and Qu Yi, his eyes flickered, and he asked: "Now that Yuan Shao's seven armies have been defeated, the overall situation has been decided. You two are both sensible people. My eldest brother is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Why don't you two surrender?" My eldest brother?"
As soon as Guan Yu opened his mouth, he directly changed the words of Yuan Shao's envoy who came to persuade him to surrender, changed Yuan Shao to Liu Bei, and returned it to Qu Yi and Zhang He intact!
